I think he meant:

https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=119089#txn-1243579

I'm not sure about the correctness of the patch, but I think Dave's "why doesn't
this break" code example isn't correct, it should be:

  use threads ();
  use threads::shared;
  #use Devel::Peek;
  my $r;
  {
      my @a :shared;
      $r = \$a[0];
      #Dump $r;
  }
  
  $$r = 1; # changed this line

which does break.
